Contesting a Will & Inheritance Disputes
Coombe Lawyers Adelaide specialises in handling contested Wills and Inheritance disputes, offering expert advice and support when you need it most. Contesting a will in South Australia is a sensitive, but sometimes necessary process when you believe that a Will doesn’t accurately reflect the wishes of the deceased, if there are concerns about a Will’s validity, or if a Will does not adequately provide for some (or all) of the deceased’s family.
Common situations where someone may contest a Will include instances of undue influence, lack of testamentary capacity, unclear or ambiguous terms, or claims of inadequate provision for family of the deceased. Whether you are contesting a Will or defending a legal challenge to a Will, our experienced Wills Lawyers will be on your side with the expert help and support you need.

Wills – Providing Security for Your Loved Ones
Planning for the future and having a valid and up-to-date will is vital to ensure that your loved ones are properly provided for and that your estate/assets are distributed in accordance with your wishes. Wills are crucial legal documents for all individuals who own assets and should be updated to reflect all major life changes. For example, if you are a new parent, newly married, recently divorced/separated or have just been diagnosed with a major illness you should consider updating your will.
Life is uncertain, and we understand that writing a will can be emotionally charged but having a will in place, especially if your children are under 18, establishes a clear plan for their future if unexpected events occur.

Power of Attorney (POA)
As part of our comprehensive wills and estates service, our Wills Lawyers in Adelaide can provide help and advice on additional legal documentation such as a Power of Attorney. A Power of Attorney is a common legal document that allows you (the donor) to nominate a trusted person to step in and make financial and property decisions on your behalf, if or when you are unable to do so because of physical or mental incompetence.
A common scenario where a Power of Attorney may be needed is for progressive diseases such as Alzheimer’s or Dementia, or during periods of severe illness or incapacity. Power of Attorney documentation can provide peace of mind for individuals and family members and can be granted to one or multiple people.

Advance Care Directives
Advance Care Directives (ACDs), are an important component of end-of-life planning and allow individuals to document their future healthcare preferences when they may no longer be able to communicate them.
ACDs allow you to record important wishes, preferences and instructions for future healthcare, end of life, living arrangements and personal matters. This includes your preferences regarding pain management, palliative and residential care and organ donation, along with your choices about whether to withhold certain medical or life-prolonging interventions. Our Lawyers will ensure you have peace of mind knowing that your healthcare choices will be documented and honoured.
Probate Lawyers
Probate
Navigating the complexities of probate in South Australia can be a daunting task, but our Probate Lawyers are here to guide you through this process with expertise and compassion.
Probate is typically needed when a loved one passes away and their estate, including assets, properties, and financial matters, must be settled and distributed. South Australian law requires probate to be granted by the Supreme Court before a deceased person’s assets can be distributed.
Our Probate Lawyers have a deep understanding of probate law and will guide you through the process to ensure your loved one’s wishes are honoured and help make this difficult and emotional time more manageable.

Our specialised Lawyers are well-versed in the intricacies of managing deceased estates and will ensure all necessary steps are taken with the utmost respect and care. This includes tasks like identifying and securing assets, settling debts and liabilities, distributing the estate to beneficiaries as per the Will or legal requirements, and addressing any legal or financial matters that may arise. You can rely on us to guide you through every step, providing compassionate support and legal expertise to help lighten the load at this stressful time.
